The Community Trail is envisioned as a fully landscaped 15-mile walking and biking trail with outdoor lighting that will connect 17 of the city's parks. The trailhead will be located in the Creative District of downtown and will include an outdoor amphitheater and anchor the trail to downtown Thomasville.

Wayfinding Signage

New gateway signage, public parking signage, public art or other monuments for downtown Thomasville to assist visitors and citizens with easier navigation throughout the city.

Branding Initiative

Update Thomasville's brand as it relates to marketing the community for tourism and economic development.

The proposed streetscape project will focus on the area of West Jackson from Madison Street to Remington Avenue. Citizens will have opportunities to contribute their ideas to the development of the streetscape plan for this downtown street. This project will rely heavily on public input to help shape the final design. Recommended improvements include: parking, traffic flow, sidewalks, preservation of the character, and filling empty storefronts.

The comprehensive plan encompasses an 18-month community engagement process. This plan will set the tone for Thomasville’s growth and development for the next twenty to thirty years, including land use and development, historic and cultural resources, environment and natural resources, economic development, municipal services, transportation, recreation, housing, and priority investments.

Bike Rack Installation

To encourage bikeability, while meeting the demands of our community, a survey will be conducted to identify locations where bike racks are needed and complete installation. This is an incremental approach to connecting our downtown to the surrounding neighborhoods.
